[Feature Request] Fullscreen TUI: separate mouse-wheel scroll from click capture to enable native text selection
Bug Description
Title: Fullscreen TUI: forced choice between mouse-click capture and losing wheel scroll
Summary: Since fullscreen TUI mode (tui: "fullscreen") became active, mouse interaction is frustrating with no good middle ground.
Problem:
- With fullscreen on, dragging to select text registers as a click and triggers menu/option selection, so I can't select text to copy.
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE=1fixes selection but disables mouse-wheel scrolling, which is also bad.CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS=1keeps the wheel but native drag-select still requires Shift+drag.
There's no single setting that gives both: normal drag-to-select-and-copy AND mouse-wheel scrolling. I ended up reverting to tui: "default" to get the old behavior back.
Request: In fullscreen mode, let plain drag select/copy text (as the classic terminal does) while keeping wheel scroll — i.e. don't capture left-button drag for UI interaction, or add a setting that does this.
Environment: Claude Code 2.1.196, macOS (Darwin 25.4.0), zsh.
